We here sometimes warn each other in passing of hazards up ahead, but as far as advice on riding, technique, equipment or safety I cannot recall ever hearing good unsolicited advice from a random cyclist. I've heard bad advice from time to time, which disinclines me to offer it when I see something that I think I could help with.
One guy did warn me, rather urgently, that I had a shoelace "about to come untied". I think he was just trying to slow me down though.
